Reposting my lobby hosting advice from /v/.
>BACK UP YOUR MP SAVES!
It's a terrible feeling to lose a save mid-run and lose everyone's progress, especially if it's because you misclicked and accidentally started a new run instead of continuing the save. That happened to me yesterday and if I didn't back up our mp save just a minute ago our entire runs progress would have been lost and I would have wanted to take dive into a pool of glass shards.
And I think in the lobby I hosted before that there was a problem mid-game and everyone suddenly disconnected and the save file which I did NOT backup was also lost.

Simply taking a moment to back up your mp saves can save everyone much grief.
>How to back up your mp save as the host:
1. First, when successfully reaching the bottom of a layer, click the SAVE & QUIT button. Everyone will be brought back to the main menu and still connected to the lobby, the lobby won't be automatically closed or anything.
This also has the nice side-effect of allowing everyone to take a short break to piss or get a drink or something.
2. Saves are located in your \AppData\LocalLow\Orsoniks\CasualtiesUnknown\mp_save folder. I've been copying and pasting the mp_save folder into a different folder I made specifically for backing up saves.
3. To continue the mp lobby save, simply click Descend in the main menu and click Continue. REMEMBER to manually REAPPLY whatever playstyle settings you want to play with! You will have to do this everytime you save and quit so I've made a .txt file for saving the copy and pastes of playstyle settings so I don't have to manually adjust every slider every time.
4. In the event the mp save is lost and you need to use your backup, simply copy the mp_save folder from your backups, go to the mp_folder in the game's AppData and delete it. Then paste your mp_save backup to replace it.

hosting tips cont.
>Server Rules
Here's the server rule preset I've been using for all my lobbies that has been working very well. Paste it in mp_rule_presets.json in the game's AppData folder.
https://pastebin.com/wB2T4nNt

>sv_cheats enabled
This lets only (You) the host use console commands. They have many uses such as letting you rectify bugs or glitches that may occur and negatively impact the players, having fun in the sandbox, and implementing whatever custom gimmicks you can think of for the run. Such as spawning a single elder thornback in a random position in every layer just to spice things up. I previously did a run where for every layer descended I would grant every player 1 wish to gain any 1 item and it was fun and I want to do it again.

>Player Count Limit
Seemingly unlimited now! BUT the more players in the lobby, the worse your (and ONLY your) FPS as the host will become. For me, hosting 4players runs almost perfectly 60fps, 5players dips down to 45fps~, 6players to 20-30~, and 7players or more at 5-15fps~.
But don't worry too much about low frames, it's important to know that while (You)r framerates may be low, all the players connected to your lobby are unaffected. Your fps will be reduced, while theirs is unaffected
Really the player count limit is up to you to decide how willing you are to put up with reduced and possibly unplayably low framerates at higher player counts. Have anons carry you!

>Unchipped is individual
Disable this, or each individual player will be chipped/unchipped depending on their own settings. In an early lobby I had this enabled and it meant one anon was playing the lobby unchipped the whole time while we were all chipped and we never even knew until after the lobby ended kek

>Straggler Radline Percent
You absolutely must change this to 100%. The default 30% means if 30% of players reach the bottom a radline suddenly appears right above any anons that aren't already at the bottom. It's probably meant for public lobbies

File: v mp first salad kill.webm (3.76 MB, 1280x720)

3.76 MB WEBM

>SpeechImpairedChat and HearingLossChat
Disabled. It's funny when talking with your mouth full or underwater garbles your speech, but I dislike how it cuts off dead anons from talking with alive anons. It's better to disable it so all anons can talk as freely as they please.
I'd love it if the Speech Impairment setting was made more granular so we can still talk like retards with items in our mouths or blubber while talking underwater or stutter when freezing or dying, but also still communicate when dead or unconscious.

>Revive on next level
>RespawnKeepInventory
>RespawnKeepSkill
I enable these. I think everyone keeping their gear and skill levels when respawning is conducive to the mostly lighthearted and easygoing fun I aim for my lobbies to be.

>Always Allow Carry
Enabled. It's a very useful setting, you can use it to pull players through gaps in walls and catch and lift them up to you on higher ledges in stuff. This setting is really conducive and fun for teamwork and helping your fellow anon.

>Piggyback Max Stack
>Piggyback Weight Multiplier
Set to 2 and 0.5x respectively. The idea is to make carrying players easier, because carrying players can save their life by removing them from the pool of oil they're currently drowning in after getting stalactited or zapped or landmined. And letting you carry two players at once allows for really awesome heroic shit to happen, it's cool and fun.

>Spectate While Unconscious
It's nice to be able to watch your fellow anons when you're very slowly dying or are unconscious for a while for whatever reason instead of staring at a mostly black screen.

>Amputate Healthy Players
Disabled. It's a troll setting as far as I can tell

>Save Player Position
Disabled! Disable this or when new players join your lobby mid-run they will start at the top of the layer instead of spawning at your position. This is really bad when the radline is active as you can imagine.

Final lobby hosting tip.
>Playstyle setting - Metabolism Rate
One last important setting, the Metabolism Rate in the playstyle settings.
This used to be a server rule, now it's a playstyle setting in the vanilla game.
When it was a server rule, I set it to about 0.7 or 0.6 which was good. My advice is that the more players, the less the metabolism rate should be. Feeding 5 hungry and thirsty expies at default hunger rates can be very difficult at times and I'd rather we die of traps or monsters than slowly watching each other agonizingly helplessly dying of hunger or dehydration.

Lately I've been setting the metabolism rate to 0.5 with 5 players and we have not been going too hungry or thirsty.

Always remember you need to reapply playstyle settings every time you continue the save file after saving and quitting after descending a layer! One time I was wondering why we are all suddenly so fucking hungry and thirsty and it was because I forgot to lower the metabolism rate.

Note if the lobby ID doesn't work it's probably because i restarted my server and the lobby id has changed!

If you can't find the lobby, set your server browser "Physical Distance" to "Worldwide" and uncheck "Hide Locked"
Additionally, the new 4.0.1 update has allowed the Server browser search bar to support raw Steam Lobby Id's which will hopefully help anons who've been unable to find my lobby in the past for unknown reasons.
Simply copy and paste the following link into the lobby browser search bar and click refresh and my lobby should pop up:

Don't forget to update your Casualties Together mod again! It was recently updated to 4.0.1.
https://github.com/Krokosha666/cas-unk-krokosha-multiplayer-coop/releases/tag/v4.0.1
I've also installed CatPatchv1.0.1 (for hugs <3) and the Multiplayer Sprite Replacer 1.2.0 from nexusmods. These two mods are purely OPTIONAL for (You) to also install if you'd like. You can still join my lobby and play with everyone else perfectly fine without them.

Oh yeah and I zipped and uploaded the Catpatch and the Multiplayer Sprite Replacer to catbox in case you don't want or can't use nexusmods.
https://files.catbox.moe/xxns4z.zip
The sprite replacer by default comes with a bunch of random shitty fursona skins, but my catbox link has replaced them with a much better curated selection of sawian skins like milkys, dunes, voyagers, and expie alts that don't clash.

Anyway, might as well throw it in here, too.
I've put up a dedicated server and will let it run for a while. Feel free to use it, I've copied over most of the settings that you guys have posted up there. Biggest problem is that I can't pre-configure shit like loot and metabolism rate so whenever the server restarts it'll switch back to default. What irritates me is that you can even do shit like --ksmulti-runcommand to run console commands automatically when the game starts BUT THOSE DON'T LET YOU EDIT PLAYSTYLE SETTINGS.

Anyway, for the time being:

I extend this opinion of mine to all other writefriends too.

On one hand I'm glad C:K has reached its final chapter because it means the painful endless misery that is the living nightmare flesh planet experience is finally over (maybe????), but on the other hand I'm so scared because I have no fucking idea what's going to happen next. Is there going to be a good ending? A bad ending? A mixed ending? An ending that defies my false trichotomy?
I'm looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time.

>>2667852
>An ending that defies my false trichotomy?
Usually I write morally gray endings where it depends on the reader whether they consider it good or bad. I've been told in the past that it can be a bell-curve thing where the less literate readers will consider my endings happy, the vast majority will say that it's bittersweet or bad, and that the most literate who have been paying attention will consider it a good one. So I wonder what people will say about this one, I very much look forward to all feedback and critique.

Apparently ownership of the MP mod changed.
Got any ideas for features/fixes to give to the new dev?
Here's mine for the dedicated server
>Backup save automatically at the end of layer
Just in case something breaks
>Go to lobby for X amount of time (in minutes) between layers
For piss breaks.
>Reapply run settings before layer start
Apparently a bug?

>>2668229
>"Go to lobby for X amount of time (in minutes) between layers"
Yes please, or send everyone to the sandbox for X minutes

>Delayed autostart
Give everyone time to join up since joining in progress is so buggy

>Allow respawns with a configurable delay and penalties
Start at the top of the layer, maybe even ignoring the radline. Destroy your old body so you can't get your stuff back. Give the new character 0 stats, or rough it up a bit (broken limbs / low blood / brain damage). Could lead to funny moments and beats waiting an hour to play again.

too bad the person currently running the mp mod (given if they're actually separate people, of course) would not open the code for the mod, so that people can add actually useful stuff like at least changing the mp settings in bulk as a stopgap solution so that issues like >>2666602 are more likely to get fixed faster and make for a more enjoyable experience for everyone. may the day of decompilation come sooner

>>2668883
Having said that, it does seem the game has a small memory leak so I'll have to set something up to restart the server every so often. Shouldn't be too problematic if I schedule it consistently so people know when it's happening. Only thing that irritates me is that it's putting a small bit of load on my GPU that I don't have much influence over.

>>2670900
Not a hidden startup command, but easy enough to write a mod for. I'll be sharing the mod properly tomorrow but the dedicated server will have it whenever I next reboot which means lower metabolism rates and slightly more loot. If wanted I can tweak any other settings, too.

3 players can feast like kings where 8 players would strip the land bare and still starve.

Maybe with an option for nonlinearity to account for the increased loot-gathering ability of big groups.

If you stop a expie's heart, it takes about 20 seconds for the first brain damage moodle to pop up and about 50 until he's braindead. I need more time to help my buddies.

I did a little bit of testing to see if running a dedicated server in the background could be a solution to the host experiencing low framerates in big servers. Evidently you can't run two instances of Cas:U at the same time. So I tried running the server in Windows Sandbox. That pegged my CPU and the MP mod didn't load for some reason. Then I made a new Windows account and tried launching the server using runas, which didn't allow me to run two instances simultaneously.

Shame I didn't get any conclusive results, but I'm not a Windows guy. Posting anyway in case this is somehow helpful.

>craftmaxxing run where we start with just material pouches and lighters and loot spawns are set to 0.1x, but traders are guaranteed at lifepods and have 3x the amount of items.
My host thoughts on the run. Material pouch and lighter was nice. It was nice being able to freely start campfires and cook things whenever. But it wasn't really a game changer or anything.
We played with 0.3x loot and it still felt more like 0.1x. When we did find traders they did have lots of items but they were so rare and loot was so rare we didn't really do much trading.

Two players caught item AIDS in layer 3, which seems to actually be a rare item desync issue.
The AIDS-infected players leaving and rejoining did not fix it.
The host restarting the server did not fix it.
What did seem to fix it was the host using the sketchy syncreset command first, and then having the players do it too. I think that fixed it.

Posting what seems to be the method by which you can choose to play chipless in multiplayer lobbies.
1. While not connected to a lobby, enter the descent playstyle menu.
2. Enable unchipped
3. Back out to main menu and join lobby you want to be chipless in.
But if the server has the setting chiplessisindividual disabled than you will be forced into whatever chip setting the server host has chosen.

Hoo boy there's DEFINITELY a memory leak somewhere. I need to set up a scheduled restart for this shit, it was sitting at the main menu casually sucking on almost 7GB ram for no reason whatsoever.

>>2676309
>So I tried running the server in Windows Sandbox
>the MP mod didn't load for some reason
Thinking about it, it's probably because of the shadowing thing that Windows does when an unprivileged user writes to Program Files. Sandbox is grabbing the real game folder from Program Files and not applying my user's overlay, where the mods are.

>>2685290
Thanks for running this. Playing without a host in the game isn't as much fun, but it's nice not having to wait for an anon to be in the hosting mood.

>>2685814
No prob. If you guys wanna do some shenanigans bullshit you can always send me a settings file and let me know when you want to play so I can update the server's config file, otherwise I'll leave it on "mostly ok for big groups" settings.

>>2685290
I wonder what is responsible for the memory leak, and how can you even check on it or what does it.

>>2686655
Considering that it's a unity game that's written in C#, typically garbage collection is done automatically whenever something is no longer referenced by anything "active"
My guess is there's something that's keeping track of stuff that's happening in the game that isn't being cleaned up whenever you exit to the main menu. Dunno if this is coming from the MP mod or if it's something in the main game but it's one of those things that wouldn't typically show up because who the fuck is going to keep the game running for 4+ days and play like 10 separate full runs during that time?

>>2686785
well, now there IS someone~
Interesting. Mayhaps this could be fixed via mods too...

>>2686785
Even the dedicated servers for other unity games usually have to restart once a day or more. Scheduled restarts might be an idea?

>>2686942

Not likely, problem with these kind of games (and their mods) is that they use a LOT of statics which, by design, will never get garbage-collected. So when you build shit like this you need to pay close attention and make sure you garbage-collect correctly yourself. Trying to mess with that with mods isn't impossible but definitely not easy. But a scheduled daily restart is probably the easiest solution, just need to figure out when the best time to do it is so I nuke the least amount of runs :^)

we did a reverse run where we started at the bottom of layer 5 and tried to make it to the top of layer 1, it was cool. We got really lucky with no salads on layer 5. If one found us while we were all basically naked the run would have ended very quickly kek. We got to the top of layer 4 when the 2 INT dune screamed OBSERVER ACKBAR and detonated his grav-bag nuke.
It was funny and all in good fun since the host had to go anyway. I can recommend reverse runs, they're interesting. Getting to dive straight into layers 5 and 4 means maximum excitement from the moment the run starts.

unironically how does the manual defib work

reposting various anons tips

Definitely the greatest tips that will greatly extend your lifespan are the following, and they're quite simple too:
These are two most common ways new (and veteran!) players get injured in this game:
1. Traps
2. Falling
And terribly often one of the two immediately leads into the other.
Protip: So avoid traps and avoid falling! It's as simple as that.

To elaborate a bit more
>never jump into darkness. if you can't see where you're going to land, simply don't jump.
You will avoid many easily avoidable fall injuries this way.
>ALWAYS be searching for traps, ESPECIALLY in the later layers. You may someday know exactly what I mean.
Because a trap you don't see is a trap that can/will hurt you. A spotted trap can be avoided or disarmed and not hurt you.
And that's basically it. If you avoid falling and traps you will avoid pretty much all injury. The only other things you have to worry about hurting you are the Grey Planet's hostile wildlife, but fortunately they are relatively rare compared to the plentiful traps and constant threat of falls.

One last great tip for noobies is if you step in glass shards, immediately bandage the wound. Yes, despite what your intuition may think you can safely wrap bandages over the glass embedded in your paw.
Once the major bleeding is stopped, you're now completely safe and can take all the time you want to pull out the glass shards from your poor paw.

File: ragdoll cleaning controls.webm (3.93 MB, 1280x720)

3.93 MB WEBM

Another incredibly valuable and life-saving tip is to
>Always disinfect new wounds.
Harvest the glowing fruit things and then drag and apply them to your wounds to use the glowfruit as a makeshift disinfectant. That shit will save your live again and again and again by nipping infections in the bud.

And remember to stay nice and clean too! Being dirty lowers your immunity stat which makes infections progress faster, and regress slower when disinfected.
The most common ways to clean yourself is
1. Immersing yourself in pools of water
2. Lifepod disinfectant sprays also clean you and apply a minor disinfected status effect to your entire body.
You can wash yourself in small puddles of water by holding X to ragdoll yourself and flopping around in the puddle.

While I may not agree with all of this anon's tips, I'm still sharing them, of course.

1) Use the flashlight you're given at the start to check beneath you before you jump.
2) When the battery runs out, glowfruit works as well or even better. Just throw them down. If you can't see the glow from where you stand it's not a safe jump.
3) Always check for alternative routes. Gravel is easy to dig through and you can ragdoll through tiny gaps if you are feeling adventurous.
4) Grab everything you see and craft all the time. At first you'll only be able to make ripped bandages and foliage bags but don't discount them, they are light and always useful.
4) Keep crafting new things, no matter what. It increases your INT, which will allow you to craft more useful things like batteries, ammo, rope, torches, neural boosters, antibiotics and specialty healing items.
5) Keep grabbing stuff, it will boost your STR, even if it tires you.
6) There's no need to rush, the time limits per layer are very generous and you get a lot of time to loiter. Use that time to do pushups and crafting as well as general R&R and inventory management.
7) Rush the green layer. There is little loot and unless you have an SMG with three full mags and a level head? It's not worth it to risk a limb to the salad.
8) Do not sleep near tentacle plants, they'll attack you on your sleep.
9) Dry bushes, water (clean or full of algae) and oil pits can break your fall. The former is ideal and whereas liquids will get you wet, dirty or both it isn't a deal breaker.
10) Wash every once in a while by taking a dip in clean water. Or better yet, the disinfectant showers in drop pods. Always go for those, even if you're clean.
11) Be nice to trader, it's a hug based economy. Stealing from them or the pod or coercing them isn't really worth it. There are plenty of empty pods if you need lightbulbs or rubber.

12) Put away your weapons when approaching a survivor.
12+1) Don't put the lightbulb on your maw.
14) You can risk a few bites from a dune. More than a few will fuck you up.
15) Always check crates, toolboxes and caches. Medical caches are always useful even if you're healthy because medical items are light but valuable.
16) Don't linger near corpses. Depression can spiral into self-harm and your Expie ignoring your commands.
17) Doesn't hurt to keep a plushie handy in case self-harm becomes a risk. If you see one, keep it.
18) Your bags degrade, keep an eye on their HP. Specially grav bags.
19) Fent can help if you're really depressed, but withdrawal sucks.
20) Mixed fluid barrels aren't worth it, even if you have a fluid centrifuge. If you're not close to an easily accessible trader? Ignore them.
21) Always mix and match ranged and melee. Spiders and throwbacks are nippy little shits.
22) If you're facing the salad? Run. It's not worth losing a limb.
23) If you really want to face the salad? The SMG is the way to go. Three mags is the sweet spot. Don't let it get near you.
24) If you really want to flex on the salad? It turns, fittingly, like a mossback. Run circles around it and give it a good back scratch. It is possible, but unadvisable.
25) Chocolate milk in small sips won't make you sick and improve your mood. Don't overdo it or you'll throw up.
26) Don't take braingrow or neural boosters twice in a row. Wait forty minutes or it will mindwipe you.
27) Always keep a bag of human blood handy. It is useful for opening locked doors with genelocks. If you see one? Keep it. Just don't use it on yourself.
28) Always look up, check for skull crushers and stalactites. If they are thrice your height above you? You can risk a dash.
29) Oil will make you slip and fall. Avoid ledges drenched in oil.
30) Exercise, or just jumping around like a spastic can stave off a little bit of cold.

>>2689115
Some things I'd add to anons list.
>9) Dry bushes, water (clean or full of algae) and oil pits can break your fall. The former is ideal and whereas liquids will get you wet, dirty or both it isn't a deal breaker.
But always check them for traps first! Bushes LOVE to conceal traps inside them. And traps can be almost invisible when submerged in liquids, especially oil. Even a 1-tile deep puddle of oil can completely hide a landmine or beartrap inside.
>>2689121
>20) Mixed fluid barrels aren't worth it, even if you have a fluid centrifuge. If you're not close to an easily accessible trader? Ignore them.
Actually they are worth it, even without a fluid centrifuge, as long as you have a bottle to spare. A minibarrel full of random shit can seem worthless at first, but hold SHIFT on it and you may find that its contents are worth the maximum trade value of 50. Fill a spare empty bottle with the minibarrel's contents and check the bottle's new value, the bottle will now probably be worth a lot! By filling spare bottles with mixed minibarrel potions you can easily, effortlessly, instantly, almost completely max out a trader's value cap and buy whatever you want from them by selling them a worthless yet highly valuable bottle of mixed minibarrel juice.

>>2689088
Two important things that Sturnn taught me

>make lots of produce juice in the desert, and ideally refine it
It doesn't go bad, it quenches your thirst, it can be safely made from the semi-inedible mushrooms, and all you need to craft it are three fruits and a stick

>don't linger in one place for too long
You won't find loot by sitting on your ass, but you will burn through your food and water

>>2689382
Hell yes, making produce juice out of mushrooms and shit in the desert is a complete gamechanger. I've never gone thirsty in layers 3 or 4 ever since an anon passed that tip to me. You don't even have to care about storing it in a bottle, you can just make it and then immediately drink it from the temporary container.
Interestingly, I didn't notice much of a difference between produce juice and refined juice in the sandbox. Their effects upon consumption are very similar. Refined juice seems to just replenish a little bit more thirst and hunger, and give the smallest amount of happiness, and that's it.

Conclusion: Produce juice is perfectly good enough in virtually all cases. You can go ahead and make refined juice if doing so is easily possible, but never fret or feel annoyed or disappointed if you can't, because produce juice and refined juice are almost identical as far as I can tell.

- 100 spiketraps on each other can catapult you up
- Soundcannons spawned on each other block themsleves
- Soundcannons cannot hit you if you're submerged in a liquid (unless the soundcannon is in the same liquid as you)
- Playsound is client only
- You can overfill magazines via the spawn command
- You can allow others to use commands via 'adminpriv-setpassword <password>' and 'adminpriv add <player>'. The player has to type 'admin <password>'.
- Players with admin rights persist between lobby restarts

soap is stupid effective at cleaning the player when used on the body in the medical screen from any applicable container if youre in a dry layer or generally not in a good spot to clean. it's worth carrying it around if youve got a spare container, especially since it's so cheap (and also free crafting exp). don't inject it.
>>2689624
refined juice crafting recipe turns 250ml produce into 200 refined but gives 8x mood increase per 100ml gulp. either its satiation or hydration stat is actually slightly worse than produce juice (dont remember which one), but you can store more of it and the mood is worth it.
>picrel
now for my own addition: the sound cannon draws a line from the circular part of its base (visible on hover) to the player's torso. if this line is interrupted or if the two ends are in different states of submerged (one in a liquid one not for example) or if there are blocks in the way. the one scaffolding in this image is enough to block the sound cannon.

>>2691850
and by worse than produce juice, i mean per-craft, as in "all 250 produce juice vs 200 refined", 250 refined is better in every department, but that's not what the craft gives you.

>>2691635
Some other miscellaneous tests:
Test: Spawning an elder thornback and using telekinesis to decapitate a player.
Result: The player lost his eyes and jaw, but not head.
Test: Setting everyone's blood volume to 200 and giving them blood bags to drain themselves.
Result: Players started draining blood from other players until they had too little blood.
Test: Giving everyone heroin and fentanyl syringes.
Result: Players started drugging and abusing each other.
Test: Giving everyone an autopump, a manual defibrillator and setting their fibrillation progress to 100.
Result: It takes a lot of shocks to restart the heart. One player used up all his battery and fried his nipples in the process.
Test: Setting everyone's moveForce to 500000.
Result: Players started dashdancing and getting concussions from hitting the ground too hard.
Test: Setting everyone's moveForce to 100.
Result: One player had a fitting wheelchair skin for this test.
Test: Giving everyone rifles with 30000 rounds and enabling PVP.
Result: Self-explanatory.
Test: Teleporting everyone onto 100 landmines.
Result: Self-explanatory.
Test: Giving everyone admin rights.
Result: Players were surprisingly well-behaved. The lobby crashed only after I specifically challenged them to do so.

>>2691850
Makes sense. I suppose the dev could do multiple raycasts to check for the head and feet but oh well.
Also damn, 8x mood increase for refined juice? Makes the campfire slightly more worth it. I typically don't bother until the last layers.

>>2691639
>>2691839
I don't think you need to do these if you admin-priv people. I tried auto-setting the admin password on launch with the dedicated server but it doesn't seem to work well, or I'm inputting the command wrong. I'll have a better look some other time.

Also I did set up a restart script, so at 5AM UTC every day the server will restart.

>There's no need to rush, the time limits per layer are very generous
as someone currently going through an actually good run, you can only start dicking around if you're decently deep enough into the layer to have a buffer between you and the line of radiation descending at you when it actually gets to 0:0
and speaking of good runs, im closing in on the jungle area, what are some tips for the place, aside from getting tree sap

>>2693822
Be VERY mindful of the ceiling. Skullcrushers will fuck you up and can spawn extremely close to where you spawn, if not outright on top of you. If you see the Elder Thornback, good luck. You can attempt to juke it a bit if you have some vertical space to go over it and into the path it has dug to get to you but you're most likely better off running away if at all possible.

but hey, I finally reached the end of the jungle and can start looping, my plan now is getting a handcrank for gravbags to not GravbagTM me, get a multitool to ditch the wrench i've been using for hammering, and from there im a bit lost on what to do
Probably just make pemnican/nutrient bars + whatever other foods?
Also, now that im reading how the bandolier works I'm realizing my decision to selll the shotgun for a 9mm pistol was proably not the best idea, since i could just craft the slugs for it and keep them in the bandolier instead of needing mags for the pistol

>get to layer 4 in an unchipped run
>think I'm fine because I have a Geiger counter with a battery
>notice I'm standing right next to spent fuel
>die 15 minutes later, despite taking all my anti-radiation meds
turns out that when you craft Geiger counters the battery they come with isn't charged. also you have to actually activate it for it to work
on the plus side I learned the Geiger counter works from your inventory

>>2694186
I dunno, I really like the shotgun but it's really not the best weapon unless you can get really close to something which you generally don't want to do. I can't say how it holds up vs a pistol but the SMG and Rifle completely blow it out of the water performance-wise. But purely because you can craft the ammo rather easily, I'd keep a shotgun as my primary bug clearer and try to get an SMG or Rifle for more solid targets.
But even with magazine-fed weapons, having a bandolier to store the actual ammo to load into the mags is still worth it.
And yeah I guess your priorities are going to be food water and meds.

I think the way it works is that every entity has a 'submerged' flag.
The sound cannon first checks the line of sight from its pivot to the player's torso.
If it's not blocked then it checks the submerged flag: If one target is submerged but the other one is not, then it misses.
It doesn't seem to check the liquid type. Only that either you or it are submerged.

>>2694204
rifle is the best weapon easily, then shotgun, then pistol & makeshift rifle are about equal

Hey C:K anon, I was thinking about your story today. Can I ask you a weird question that suddenly popped up in my head? It has to do with the note at the end of the last chapter, and if you happen to know or thought of this and have this piece of hidden lore in your mind that only (You) the writer would know,
When did it happen? I'm referring to you know what, THAT exact moment when the impossible odds aligned and became possible? Was it their first time when Doc was crippled on the table? Or did they do it many times afterwards by the time of the epilogue?

>>2697699
Well anon the epilogue takes places several months after the main events of the story. Do the math.

>>2698020
>Do the math.
I just did and the numbers came out nice. Very very nice. And I don't just mean my double digits.
If I may impose one more question, how would they react to the news?
And I forgot to mention what I was thinking about in my last post. The things doc has seen, and done, is the kind of shit that will haunt you for the rest of your life. That will keep you up at night, and wake you from your sleep with nightmares.
Same goes for D-125, except he hasn't done anything, just seen shit.
But I'm glad they have each other for support and comfort and cuddles. The idea of D-125 often suffering from nightmares about his experiences is a little sad, but then I think of him always crawling into Doc's warm bed for comfort and reassurance which Doc is always willing to give and I feel good, and so does D-125.
Hopefully he doesn't interrupt any nighttime bonding activities between Doc and Vee kek.

>>2698809
I suppose it's up to interpretation.

>>2698867
My headcanon is Vee would be ecstatic and the effects would only make her want to bond with poor exhausted doc even more.
Doc is absolutely shocked, stunned, flabbergasted, paralyzed. He'd just stand there staring blankly down at her with eyes as wide as dinnerplates as he gets lost in his own thoughts.
He'd be like
>I've always known it's possible. Yet somehow it never crossed my mind once this whole time.
He'd overthink it and start sweating bullets worrying if his watchers will react negatively, but Vee will snap him out of it and reassure him that together they can handle anything. I think D-125 would be surprised, but happy too.
Fuck what if this was Vee's plan all along? Doc would be like
>Well, looking back, it explains her eagerness and surprising frequency. I had initially assumed she was just really happy I was all hers again and wanted to make up for lost time, several times over.
It's funny to imagine Doc being oblivious, but realistically he probably wouldn't be. Whatever the case, poor, poor, Doctor Incel-no-more... He never stood a fucking chance against Vee, the game was rigged from the start, kek.

oh, and a roza got 3 (three) last stands in layer 5, could NOT stop killing salads. the limit was reset once because of a death then recruit, then again when he was console healed (more observer fuckery canonically)

There's a mod that removes the oil pipes from the game.
https://www.nexusmods.com/scavprototype/mods/383
I just really quickly tested if it works in multiplayer and it seems it does.
ONLY the host needs the mod. Other players do NOT need to also have the mod installed, and can join and play normally.
>why remove oil pipes
Maybe it improves performance in multiplayer? For both the host and players? Or maybe just the host or just the players?
Or maybe it makes little to no difference at all. I can't say with certainty, but it seems logical that performance would be improved if there weren't multiple massive endlessly growing oil oceans all over the map.
And of course I'm not saying all lobbies need to have this mod from now on or anything, I'm simply reporting that it works in multiplayer so host anons can experiment with it if they want.

>Too Many Settings
https://www.nexusmods.com/scavprototype/mods/409
Works in multiplayer. Only the host needs to have it installed.
Greatly increasing spawnrates makes hosts performance exponentially worse the more players there are.
Increasing fluid spawn multiplier seems to harm ability for players to join.
Overall I'd say the only realistic use of this mod in multiplayer is to increase minibarrel spawn rates. Everything else is too laggy.
I considered this mod to slightly increase plant spawns for more players, but it's too laggy. A more optimal solution would a mod that simply increases the loot dropped by plants which spawn at the default unmodified rate.
And anon's AutoLoadRunSettings works with Too Many Settings!

I love your takes anon. I love the idea of silly names becoming cringe, but then eventually over time looping back around to being based. Like if a sawian with a silly name becomes famous for their heroism or something.
>I feel like Milkies and Voyagers are both species with such big heads and egos that they'd have a tendency to name themselves after legendary human figures like Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, Bismark, etc etc.
Agree 100%. The dev has already confirmed milkies purposely act smarter than they are, so this is perfect for them. It's also very cute and adorable, but NEVER tell them that or they will get mad kek.

I agree with what that other anon says. >>743006878 I too would like to think those are mean or even affectionate lol nicknames from their fellow mercenaries. Looking at all their other dialogue suggests these merc sawians are all quite grizzled fellows, assuming the dialogue is to be taken seriously and is not just typical video game grunt dialogue. Is life on the Grey Planet really that rough? Hopefully not, hopefully it's only rough being part of the competing merc factions.

I like these ideas too.
>If left unchecked, the Company would totally become a classic case of "Evil Greedy Corporation plays God in their hubris and damns humanity to an apocalyptic scenario" ala Umbrella Corp and so on.
Bro it's so funny you say that because you gotta play the developers other game Gooey. Nigger company's canonical hubris has disastrous apocalyptic consequences beyond imagination. Gooey takes place in the sawian universe several decades after C:U and Gunsaw and NIGGER Company literally almost destroys the observable universe with their new goo creature they've created that has disembodied floating limbs.

Interesting. I can see arguments for and against large litters.
For large litters,
>Experiment's animal DNA suggests larger litters
>Sawians mature very quickly in about just 10 years, so despite the human DNA suggesting birth might be difficult just like it is for humans, sawians might just push out their little tiny pups as easily and as casually as animals do, and sawian pups rapidly grow and mature in size and intelligence. Certainly far faster than human babies.
>Sawians have wide birthing hips and powerful dense muscles
Against large litters,
>perhaps the human DNA is dominant and sawian pregnancy is very similar to a humans, with usually just 1 pup, or 2 rarely.

The developer has dropped sawian population numbers on the gay planet, see picrelated. I'm sure a based mathanon could run the numbers and do the calculations to determine the population growth rate over the decades and thus determine the sawian birth rate on the Grey Planet.

Name: Casualties Anonymouse
pw: milky
trying out the no oil pipes mod, testing against my sample size of 1 (one) as host if it helps with performance in layer 3 and 4 or not.
otherwise high traps, higher enc, high layer modifier chance, and high chance we get to keep all our things through all the floors this time (sorry)
no player cap, probably starting when/if we hit 5 or so or whatever.

>>2707718
not the host but the lobby is over now, of course.
linking to host anons post in /v/ about the experience >>>/v/743082810
That wasteland was quite rough, even more than usual. Out of 9 sawians, 5 died, and four made it to the bottom.
But we made it to the jungle and I blew up a salad with dynamite for the first time and then anons hunted it down as it ran away and killed it. Awesome.

Oh yeah and I successfully restarted two anon's stopped hearts that lobby! I think I've figured out the trick to restarted a stopped heart without that one medicine:
>How to restart a stopped heart with a defibrillator zap and CPR
1. Zap anon with defib. If manual defib, do max power.
2. Perform CPR. His heart should restart after like 15 to 30 seconds of CPR? I'm not sure exactly, the size of my data set I'm working from is only 2.
So I'll modify step 2 in case the cpr doesn't work.
2. Perform CPR for 30 seconds. If his heart doesn't restart, restart from Step 1.

>>2703535
>>2705453
Also very interesting to note is the host had the No more oil pipes mod installed for that lobby and it does seem to have made a very very noticeable improvement in the host's performance.
>as far as i could tell, the no oil pipes mod was pretty fucking great at improving framerates for the host. previously, in the desert and wasteland, i was hitting lows of 5-10 fps or worse, and that was with 6 players. In this lobby today, i was sitting at a comfortable 30+ fps the entire trek through those two layers, with TEN players, that's completely unheard of as a host. More testing most certainly required, but it's looking good.
Very interesting and very impressive, going from a pretty much unplayable sub-10 fps to 30+ with even more players is crazy good. My hosting performance is terrible in the desert and wasteland too so I'm definitely installing the mod for the next time I host. I think anon has a better PC than I do though so I'm predicting my performance gains won't be as huge.

>How to restart a stopped heart with a defibrillator zap and CPR
We tried this multiple times in a test lobby and it worked every single time. I don't think it ever took longer than a minute of CPR to revive someone.
So here's my new refined plan to restart someone's heart with a defib zap and CPR.

0. Ideally have a 3rd player (not the player with the defib) immediately perform CPR on the heart-stopped expie to keep their blood oxygen O2 as high as possible and avoid brain death and damage from hypoxia.
>Manual Defib Guide
1. Set power to maximum and shock them.
2. Immediately begin CPR. They will revive with a minute of CPR correctly being performed.
>Automatic Defib Guide
1. Place shock pads, performing CPR while it analyzes their pulse if someone is not already performing CPR on them.
2. Shock them and immediately begin CPR. They will revive with a minute of CPR correctly being performed.

Follow these two simple steps and you will heroically save your fellow anons lives again and again and again! It's a really amazing feeling, I recommend everyone experience it at least once.

Testing has completed. Here's the results.

>>2705453
Refueling jetpacks with oil mod works in multiplayer.
https://www.nexusmods.com/scavprototype/mods/347
If a player doesn't have the mod, they will not be able to refuel jetpacks with oil.
Every player that does have the mod installed will be able to refuel jetpacks with oil.
So yes, only the host can have the mod installed and refuel other player's jetpacks for them.

LRD does not heal stroke.
1mL of procoagulant MAY be all you need to heal stroke. We were able to test this in a real game and injecting 1mL only partially healed my stroke, I needed a second 1mL injection.

We did various tests to try and revive a sawian after IED detonation. None worked.

OH I REMEMBERED ANOTHER MASSIVE DISCOVERY
Did you know ice packs double the muscle healing rate of the limb it's applied to? This makes them incredibly useful and valuable.
Did you also know this healing boosting functionality of icepacks DOES NOT WORK IN MULTIPLAYER?
That's right, we tested ice pack healing rates and they had absolutely no effect in multiplayer.
Ice packs still correctly cool players down in multiplayer, but they do NOT improve healing rates.

>His father was just lucky that I hadn't had to be the one to deal with him.
What the fuck happened to anons dad.
>Time to make some real money with those N-Corp assholes.
KEK I wonder what the "N" stands for??
>Ever since my predecessor's termination
I briefly considered if his predecessor could have been Anon's father, but no it couldn't have been. Dick mentions giving his reports for "a good few years now" and I think it's been much longer than that since anon lost touch with his father.
>"The rangers aren't allowed near your station."
>"doubling down on the nature reserve legislation. They're putting up an area for endangered species,"
Ohhhhh I thought so, I had my suspiciouns when Dick first casually mentioned fucking shooting at people for his job to scare them off. I had a hunch this is what was really going on
>"Do you know how important all the data we get out of this is?"
It's always about the data with the company. Always. After all, it's the very reason why they created sawians in the first place, and why they've done everything they've done to them, and will continue to do far into the future. Because sawians provide such endless juicy mouthwateringly delicous data. It's always about data.
I'm glad that nigger corp isn't real, and that not even the worst corporations in real life come anywhere close to them. It makes our reality seem like a utopia.
Lastly, considering how it's been presumably a decade or two since Anon's father first started his ventures into the mountains searching for the local sawian cryptid, this begs the question
Has it reproduced in that time? And if it has, how much? The answer could easily be zero, because sawians in your canon have separate male and female sexes, but my questions are under the assumption there's only a single individual sawian in the mountains.
N(egligent)-Corp could have set free more than just a single sawian into a remote wilderness zone and they've been breeding ever since

Lobby's over! Thanks everyone for joining, we peaked at 11 players. My hubris caught up to me and I was crippled down to 5 fps at some points in the jungle, but for most of the run I was totally fine. Fun run, we killed 1 salad and mortally wounded another. And learned whoever holds grav bags has the most power in the lobby.

Fun lobby. Huge lobby too with 11 anons, amazing. We did very well despite our ravenous hunger and thirst. We killed two salads and one was mortally wounded and fled.
Oh and there was another grav-bag IED nuke detonation again that fucking destroyed most of my body with shrapnel kek.
I'm in awe at your excellent performance with almost a dozen players. I want to give thanks to the MP mod dev who's 4.0 update overhaul fixed so much shit and lets us all play together with few gamebreaking issues. I'm definitely installing the No Oil Pipes mod for when I host.
Interesting that your fps dropped in the jungle, I guess it's because of all the spiders? Hey wait are there zero spiders in the wasteland? Because of the radiation maybe.
There's a performance mod that claims to greatly optimize some things, I should test if it works in multiplayer.
